Send me back
Woke up in the ER
Not sure where I am.
What happened.
I was happier before I woke.
My wife kissed me.
My daughters and sons hugged me.
All I remember was back Hurt
My chest felt really tight
Neck stiff
I woke up in a field of yellow roses with my family
Then I woke up in a hospital.
Doc why send me back
Not sure where I am.
What happened.
I was happier before I woke.
My wife kissed me.
My daughters and sons hugged me.
All I remember was back Hurt
My chest felt really tight
Neck stiff
I woke up in a field of yellow roses with my family
Then I woke up in a hospital.
Doc why send me back

you sold me forever and i bought it
chaotic and melancholic
a reflection of what used to be
take everything we once had
hold it to your heart
and never stop dwelling on it
for every time i thought of you
i’d hoped you’d try to find me
but i wept alone in agony
always and forever
were my lies
yet you forced me to speak them
we’ll remain tied by an invisible string
and we will speak;
sometimes and briefly
occasionally and barely
but never always or forever;
the lies i told
you sold them to me

Misty-colored memories
Rise to the surface
Sexy saxophone offerings
You’re haunting my mind again

Hymn to Lessons
I did not find her as treasure
never a graceful swan
never a butterfly
or moth or pretty wings
there are creatures born
unlike any other
woman with a nervous smile
red hair, soft wrists
I did not know it would be you
who brought me here
didn’t know about the scraps
we ate to keep each other close
how memory is the animal
that burrows itself in me
it wasn’t even that I wanted to
but I did want to
it was complicated
never a graceful swan
never a butterfly
or moth or pretty wings
there are creatures born
unlike any other
woman with a nervous smile
red hair, soft wrists
I did not know it would be you
who brought me here
didn’t know about the scraps
we ate to keep each other close
how memory is the animal
that burrows itself in me
it wasn’t even that I wanted to
but I did want to
it was complicated

Wallyroo in Déjà vu
I pause for a second thinking it’s about to happen
It feels like I have been in this place before
I look around as my thoughts begin to slacken
Trying to retrieve something from the memory core
But it doesn’t take place, the verb just withdraws
As if by making myself aware of it I made it disappear
Then I run through endless recollections and flaws
Trying to will it into existence until I see it very clear
Was it a dream, a fantasy, a conversation once had?
Then I make a mad dash through the chambers of my mind
Was it some ghostly...

Sadness with a smile
As I held her hand tightly as they turned off the machines
Within 5 minutes she was gone
Her pain has ceased
and so has her life
Tears will be shed that she's passed on
Thinking of her life, gives me a reason to smile
Within 5 minutes she was gone
Her pain has ceased
and so has her life
Tears will be shed that she's passed on
Thinking of her life, gives me a reason to smile

Maybe it was Always Going to Come to This
Sitting outside the city jail
my newly colored curls
purple and pink
blowing in the breeze
mocking my stylists attempts
to tame them
while the geese peck at the ground
with a view of the river
where the sun will sink
into the horizon
There's a long story
about how I arrived
at this unexpected vantage point
one you might enjoy
and somewhere in the back of my mind
I can always conjure the sound
of your laughter
As the evening chill
reminds that these warmer days
are just a tease of weeks...

Who am I?
Today my name is?
Damn, I'm really not certain
Deteriorate

Two Blue Oceans
- Two Blue Oceans -
Memory One: Peace, Serenity, and Sorrow
I look into the distance, and I see the ancient days reflected,
Other worlds, other times, other ages now lost to all records.
I look within, I see the place that is most securely protected,
From within to beyond, to a paradise filled with songs of birds.
A singular oasis, where in other flesh we oft went to feel peace!
Those of my house knew not of our secret meetings, lost love.
Yet I oft did sneak away, to bask in the wonder of your company,
Beneath the moons of a world no eyes see...

Distant Travels
As my mind reflects
voices from within
tell me to soul search
a personal energy
that resonates
changing my perspective
as multiple beings
alert me that my time will expire

remembering back
i watched
that sunday,
i watched
her being
undressed,
there was
no objections
whatsoever
from her
this time,
she had
no choice
of it
happening,
and soon
she lay
in front
of me,
i saw
her breast
upward,
her legs
straight,
i would
be taking
her into
my mouth,
but i
had to
show patience
until she
was roasted
for dinner.

Memory Etchings
Today
I'm swinging outside
Feet touching clouds
Really living right
Days winding down
Wind's picking up
Leaves crying out
Trees bending away
Birds flying together
Chimes chiming loud
Hear everything stop
Skies growing green
Blinds, closing tight
Mom calling out
Arms waving 'Here'
Inside, running back
Siren's droning starts
TV's warning tone
Memory etching sounds
Upstairs, Rushing down
Cellar, huddling close
Makeshift bedding among
Armoire, hiding inside
Lights loosing life ...
